Then the congress (specifically the House) will for Obama's spending plan. It's the same as with the USSC, they knew he would do Obamacare regardless of what they said, so they ruled for it. It's the threat of being irrelevant that will make them vote (along with bribes and real threats).
One specific method Obama could use is the TARP strategy. He could create a big bill full of spending, some taxes, and maybe pretend to negotiate. Then threaten that if the House doesn't pass it, the markets will crash and the economy will sink. Then, just like TARP, the House will cave. How do I know? My rep (Wolf R VA) who ignored my letters and calls and thousands more like it and sent a form letter saying he had to vote for TARP because otherwise we would increase the deficit. Thanks in part to that vote we got Obama and an massively increased deficit.
If Obama doesn't get his House vote he can help the media and other players arrange a 1000 point market crash. Then the House will wimp out and pass his budget. The only good thing to come of it will be a better possibility of a third party.
How many freakin "third parties" do you want? There's easily over fifty right now.
Just get the TEApublicans into power and get-er done. We don't have time to waste on this self-defeating claptrap.
Watch for it, use trailing stop-losses, and help it along. Then buy at the bottom, if you dare.
